I'm all dug out after yesterday's 31cm of snow! What a crazy day. I hope you were all safe and sound and didn't have to travel too far in that blizzardy weather.

I was fortunate to be able to work from home yesterday and on a cold and blustery day I thought soup would make a perfect dinner option. I decided to try making a tomato soup; something I've never done before. I followed a friends' recipe and I have to say it was DELICIOUS! Quick easy and filling, it was a hit with everyone except Boo. Pretty, who is normally the pickiest eater around, even ate it!

When I entered it into the Weight Watchers eTools recipe builder, I was very happy to see that the soup is only 2 PointsPlus points per serving!

Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on high 4-6 hours or low 8-10 hours. I blended the mixture after it had cooked to puree the chunks of onion and tomato, making it more kid-friendly. I also found this helped to thicken it up.
